Roland,
The sensors are the same ones you clean out on the 2mil maintenance. You
could go to manual for procedures to see a picture of the sensors. My
edition has the 2 mil on page 7-11. As suggested by a Denver techcI am
also doing additional oiling of the reciprocator guide before the timer
calls for it (pg. 7-9). My local tech says that if the oil "slops" out
over the channel for the oiling, he thinks the oil might also be
clouding the sensor creating a color index error.
When I turn the machine back on I also just press the green start button
to return to the design where it left off. But it is important not the
move the hoop setting or anything. The machine remembers where you where
automatically. It goes to center or design origin (not sure which) then
returns to where you left off and changes from the home needle to the
correct needle (hopefully). I have also had the pressor foot stop in
between needles so I repeat the procedure, clean sensor, turn off, turn
on and press start.
Hope I answered your questions.

Cheryl, thanks for the response...
Sunlight...no problem, there isn't a window nearby, only the office door
and
this was late last nite anyways. (We have a computerized cash register
system at our store that reacts to sunlight coming in and bouncing off
the
wall behind it-hits the bar code reader and really messes it up! so we
are
familiar with that)
Where are the sensors to get cleaned out? I know we keep up with all the
maintainence as called for, plus extra oiling-but somestuff makes so
much
'dust' that maybe something did get up in there. Turning it on and off
didn't help-when it did start to run again, because we had moved the
'hoop'
(hat holder) to line it up, it started in the wrong place-lost the
'center'.
What do you do to 'resume' the design? We just turned it back on, and
pushed
the green button again...
Haven't turned it on yet today-figured I'd wait until I find out what to
do.
Let me know where or what the sensors are and we'll get right on it and
start over. After this ONE hat, I have 2 orders to do and no spares on
those
to play with.
Still would like to figure out why we have such horrible results using
any
fonts (even helvetic or the mini block, etc.) under 1/4 " tall-yet we
see it
on all kinds of embroidered things down to 5/32 or so!
